jumped
- 1Simple past and past participle of jump.

Prices have jumped sharply since the start of the year.
Note
A regular -ed form, so one spelling does double duty: the simple past (the cat jumped) and the participle after have (prices have jumped). Most senses of jump are intransitive, so the participle seldom turns passive. Only the transitive "overleap" sense allows it, as in the fence was jumped cleanly. With figures and prices, jumped means a sharp rise, not a leap.
